Chapter 692: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-One: Depths of the Black Fog_3

With the aid of Dao Charm, Luo Bingli fully transformed her physical body into Origin Qi.

Just like a beam of light passing through a flower, the fluttering flowers also passed directly through her.

This scene prompted a flicker of surprise in Lou Ji’s eyes, but the surprise was quickly suppressed, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.

The card Luo Bingli had just played was the last thing Lou Ji wanted to see.

Although it was her first time encountering this type of spellcraft, the foundational knowledge of cultivation told Lou Ji that Luo Bingli, in her current state, had no fatal weaknesses.

She couldn’t repel her opponent, and to completely crush her, she could only exhaust her opponent’s Origin Qi by force.

No, it wasn’t even necessary to exhaust it completely.

Because as long as Luo Bingli wanted to continue living, she would need to retain a substantial amount of Origin Qi to activate Dao Charm and return to her physical form.

Unfortunately, for those who had undergone Mortal Transcendence, this was not something that could be achieved in a short time.

Lou Ji glanced in Xu Yuan’s direction, her pupil shimmering with purple light flickered, she bit her silver teeth, and slowly raised her palm.

She... she couldn’t give up yet.

As Lou Ji made her move, the toxic flowers flying within her Dao Domain gradually vanished, replaced by countless purple-red fruits of the same type.

The moment these purple and red fruits appeared, they began to swell, and then burst open!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!!"

The countless explosions caused the Origin Qi of heaven and earth to oscillate, and the shockwaves that spread out completely destroyed Huizhou County below.

Lou Ji was trying to trap Luo Bingli, who had turned into a Qi state, with this method of shaking the Origin Qi.

But clearly, she had failed.

Just as she was about to streak past the center of the Origin Qi turbulence, Luo Bingli’s figure once again blocked her path.

Looking at the woman who appeared before her, Lou Ji’s serpentine purple pupils were almost splitting with rage.

Luo Bingli, however, simply extended a palm with an expressionless face, her Qi-state body forcefully lashing out,

a burst of pure energy radiant.

"Hum!"

Though it didn’t penetrate the purple floral light shield Lou Ji had conjured, it sent her flying a hundred zhang away.

With her fingertips embedded into her palm, Lou Ji looked at the woman in the distance, whose lofty figure trembled uncontrollably at this moment.

She could kill this troublesome woman, but it would take time.

But... but Changtian no longer had that time...

Taking a deep breath, Lou Ji’s fingertips dug into her palm, a determined light flashed in her eyes.

But just then, Lou Ji witnessed yet another scene that left her feeling helpless.

The three individuals who had undergone Mortal Transcendence and had been severely wounded by her had already returned to the fray one after another.

The last to arrive, the chubby Zhou, looked warily at the unstable woman a hundred zhang away and suddenly transmitted his voice:

"Brother Taishiran, are we to surround and kill this Black Scale Leader again?"

Before Taishiran could speak, Luo Bingli’s cool voice preempted everyone,

"She can’t be killed."

The middle-aged beauty’s eyes flickered with surprise:

"With Fairy Luo here and the three of us who have undergone Mortal Transcendence, can’t we surround and kill her?"

Luo Bingli glanced at her:

"Unless both you and I are prepared to die here."

"...." the middle-aged beauty.

Taishiran exhaled softly and said firmly:

"Brother Fu, our target is not Lou Ji. You three just need to hold her off here, and I will check on Xu Changtian’s situation in the midst of this fog."

"Wouldn’t it be better if I went?" Zhou the chubby suddenly spoke up, "Brother Taishiran, you know what I’m capable of. My Spirit Soul Divine Eyes have the effect of penetrating vision, this fog doesn’t have much of an effect on me. Moreover, my cultivation technique counters Old Man Tian’s quite well."

Taishiran hesitated slightly, glanced at the other’s injuries and the compatibility of their spellcraft against Old Man Tian’s, and after a moment of silence, he didn’t object:

"Alright, go with Brother Fu and be sure to reduce Xu Changtian to ashes."

Upon hearing this, Zhou heaved a sigh of relief internally. He didn’t want to face Lou Ji, that madwoman, again. He laughed heartily:

"Rest assured."

"Make it quick and return quickly."

"Hmm."

As the words fell, Zhou Pudgy and the middle-aged beautiful woman instantly disappeared from the spot, rushing towards the depths of the mist.

And just a few breaths after they left, from behind them came thunderous roars and the tremendous shaking of energy mechanisms within the mist.

Hearing these sounds, Zhou Pudgy felt a sense of relief but did not slow down. Within a mere few breaths, he and the middle-aged beautiful woman reached the deepest part of the mist.

As they landed softly on the ground amidst the ruins, a ghostly blue gleam flickered in the narrow eyes of Zhou Pudgy, instantly revealing all that was around him.

Before long,

he cast his gaze upon two figures standing opposite each other.

One was the familiar withered old man.

And the other was Xu Changtian, who should have been dead.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Pudgy glanced at the middle-aged beautiful woman beside him.

The middle-aged beautiful woman, noticing his gaze on her, frowned involuntarily for a moment, but the current situation was not the time to quibble over such things. She spoke up and asked:

"Found them?"

Zhou Pudgy gave a slight nod:

"Hmm, but... their condition seems a bit strange."

"What do you mean?" The middle-aged beautiful woman’s expression became grave in an instant.

"We need to get closer."

Zhou Pudgy said this while preparing his cultivation technique with caution, quickly moving toward the two figures.

Approaching within a hundred feet, the scene that met Zhou Pudgy’s eyes made him involuntarily halt and he asked in a low voice:

"Fu Daoyou, since old man Tian was struck with that plague, hasn’t his mouth been nonstop the whole time?"

"....."

The middle-aged beautiful woman’s gaze faltered.

She had been fully engaged in dealing with Lou Ji and hadn’t noticed this detail; now that it was mentioned, it seemed Tian old man really hadn’t made a sound since that one sentence.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged beautiful woman asked softly:

"What are you implying with that remark?"

Zhou Pudgy whispered:

"Old man Tian, seems to be dead."

"What?" The middle-aged beautiful woman’s pupils shrank: "How is that possible?!"

The implication of Zhou Pudgy’s words was clear,

Old man Tian had been dealt with without making any sound.

Having clashed just earlier, the middle-aged beautiful woman was quite aware of the withered old man’s strength.

Even in a state of madness, it would take her some time to kill him with her strength.

In the entire dead city right now, the only people capable of instantly killing Tian in that state might only be Lou Ji and Luo Bingli.

Unless the Prime Minister’s Mansion had sent reinforcements, and they were of the Semi-Saint level.

"Someone from the Prime Minister’s Mansion?"

Zhou Pudgy stared intently at the two motionless figures in the mist, licking his lips as he said:

"Hmm, someone from the Prime Minister’s Mansion."

"Who?"

"Xu Changtian."

"...." The middle-aged beautiful woman.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged beautiful woman spoke coldly:

"Zhou Pudgy."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think you’re being funny?"

"Fu Daoyou, I too wish it were a joke."

Upon hearing that, Zhou Pudgy slowly turned his eyes back to the middle-aged beautiful woman, his voice serious and earnest:

"But old man Tian’s head is right now being held in Xu Changtian’s hand."
